Top Chamarel Outdoor Activities

Great walk through the sugarcane fields and along the coast with breathtaking scenery. The quad bike is ideal for this kind of fun and fast outing to travel the small paths to discover the south of the island. Our guide Ophelia was attentive to our expectations and even helped with souvenir photos and video. Perfect organization even for lunch with Mauritian specialties in the heart of Vanilla Park. We did this course after the rain which added some fun to the slides in the corners (and some mud), I guess in very dry weather there must be a lot of dust (mask and glasses imperative). In the end great experience that I highly recommend.

Thank you very much superb experience, Orphelie and Christian were great! Perfect Welcoming, great experience with our 6 and 8 year olds.

Me and my boyfriend went on the quad bike tour with Orphelie as our guide. I would 100% recommend this trip. From arrival to the site all the staff were so kind and helpful the amenities on site were good as you had a place to shower and clean up after the quads. The tour its self was beautiful and fun! Orphelie is a credit to the company! She ensured we were safe and driving to our limits knowing that we are experienced in quad biking she let us really enjoy the ride but still kept us safe! There was only me my partner and Orphelie so when they say small groups they really do mean it. We got to the waterfall where only me and my partner was Orphelie took stunning pictures and videos of us throughout the tour and let us enjoy our privacy and the beauty taking a backwards step when appropriate to let us enjoy our moment. Great experience, great staff and great value for money!

A very nice discovery of Savanne by quad while crossing the sugar cane plants and following the coast. During the quad stops, we were able to discover magnificent landscapes. As a bonus, meal in the vanilla nature park and discovery of several species. A great sporting experience 🤩

Excellent communication and organisation from the company. The owner/guide was awesome, some great sights while ridding the quad bikes all over , swim at Rochester falls and lunch with the monkey/tortoise and crocodiles to end the day.

Amazing tour with amazing guides. A real pleasure and it was just a wonderful and fun day. The quads are very good and we can just recommend the tour to everyone visiting this wonderful island.

5/5 highly recommend Worth the amount of money that spent Number 1 quad bike activity in the island Don’t miss it !!!!!!!

This was a great experience from start to finish. Staff friendly quad bike was comfy. We went to some fantastic locations, which we would have not seen by road - our guide was knowledgeable. Rochester falls was amazing - so peaceful. It’s a fun and enjoyable experience - make sure you have appropriate foot wear. Would highly recommend this activity.

We have great experience, thy were friendly our tour guide was helpful and trying the best to help us , highly recommended

I will preface this by saying I’ve done some amazing tours and travelled a fair bit and this tour was up there with the best.Pickup for us was around 8.30am and the drive is about an hour from the north west side of the island to the location south. Driver was very pleasant and made sure we were comfortable.When we arrived we were greeted by manager and found out the other manager/owner was our driver so that was a nice surprise.The manager checked us in quickly and gave us our helmets and introduced us to Akshay who was our guide for the day.The quads are super easy to use. And we found that we were travelling on the quads through fields and the edge of the jungle so it’s very safe and your guide will make sure that all road elements that you do encounter will be safe for you.The first stop was La Vanille which is a crocodile and turtle farm and has various other attractions too. Held a baby crocodile which was quite cool but by far the coolest thing was walking into a giant turtle enclosure. There are hundreds of turtles and the fact you’re able to interact with them as well just makes it amazing and this is all within the first hour.We then left La Vanille and headed to Rochester Falls through the fields, on arrival at Rochester Falls we walked down a pathway to get to the falls. The pathway has large amounts of clay and can be slippy in the wet. There are also some craters so be careful going down, good walking footwear is essential, you need this for the quads anyway so you should be fine.Rochester falls is amazing, the expanse of the place makes it feel special. Bring/wear swimwear on your ride as you can swim in the falls, it’s something we overlooked in the notes but definitely would do if we came back.After the falls we went for lunch. There is a resort somewhere amongst those fields that the guide takes you to, lunch is prepaid (included in our package). And you just get to enjoy. The food is tasty and we both enjoyed it.After lunch we set off for the cliffs. Views are amazing and you’ll get a lot of lovely pics here. If you’re lucky and get some extra quad biking in, your guide can take you to a couple of cool spots, one of which is a naturally created swimming pool next to the ocean.Finally after this we went back to the lodge and handed back our gear and returned the quads.I would mention you will get muddy and actually I would encourage you to do so, the mud water is actually warm and I’ve never been so happy being mucky, it’s all part of the experience.Akshay was fantastic throughout the tour and gave us plenty of time everywhere and let us enjoy. I would say one point is to just keep an eye out for back trailers. I’m very comfortable on a quad bike and can keep up with any sort of speed. My wife was less so especially around the rocky bits and fell behind at times, but otherwise he was fantastic.One other thing I will mention is that everything in this tour is paid for you. As in entry to places, lunch etc. it’s not other tours I’ve been on where they still charge you to do things, this is a properly organised tour, well thought out and enjoyable.The last thing I would say is that we both had sunglasses for the tour. Sunglasses only were so good for dust. I would ask if the tour place could get helmets with visors because that would be a lot better.Overall I rate this experience as one of the best I’ve ever done. We both loved it, it’s been the highlight of our trip. Thank you guys, we’ll be recommending this to anyone who is coming here.

We had an amazing trip. My husband and I went on a double quad. Very sweet staff and a beautiful adrenaline filled trip. We especially loved the stop at the zoo with the reptiles and the scenic routes.

We had the best time on the discovery adventure. Our guide was really helpful, kind and ensured we were safe. He made sure we were all comfortable on the bikes before we set off. Lunch was lovely and visiting the tortoises and crocodiles at the ended topped it all off. Tops tips - take water with you or at least a bottle to fill up. There is no water to purchase on site or near by. The next stop is at lunch or right at the end when you get to the tortoises. Our guide, thankfully, managed to find a bottle and fill up for us! - Wear goggles!! It is hot and dusty! Sunglasses offer some protection but not enough. - Don’t wear white or white trainers you like. They will get muddy but that’s all part of the fun!

We had an amazing time on the 35km Discovery Tour and we opted for single quad bikes. After a safety demonstration and practice run the tour took us through sugar cane fields, tree lined & sea view trails, a stop off at Rochester Falls, a stop off at Savanne and a 1 hour stop off at La Vanille Nature Park. Lunch at Andrea Lodge was very nice and had incredible views and was included in the price. Our tour guide was great and made us feel safe at all times. (sorry I’ve forgotten your name). We had the best day and would highly recommend it.Tip: Wear sunglasses/goggles to protect your eyes and be prepared to get covered in dirt which adds to the fun

Wow!! It’s was brilliant!! The 2 guys who took us out were great fun and made us feel so safe but at the same time free to feel like we knew what we were doing. As soon as we didn’t they were there sorting any issue. They took us to some beautiful places- the Rochester waterfalls, a beautiful place to eat lunch with stunning views, a wild life park where we saw giant tortoises and crocodiles and beautiful views to look at whilst driving over all sorts of terrain. It was brilliant!!

Teambuilding activity. Jameel was very helpful. From the time we arrived there until the end, we were accompanied by the coach. Lunch was well planned and served as soon as we arrived at the resto. They are well organized and well trained.

Riding the quads! Christopher is an excellent and informative guide. The quads were in good form. Christopher takes you on a little practise ride which helps build confidence. He is willing and eager to share insights into life on Mauritius. The tour was the right combination of site-seeing (the cliffs at Gris-gris and Rochester Falls) and opening up the throttle on the sugar cane roads. Highly recommend for a fun change of pace activity--sometimes you have to get off the beach!
